Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Jerry Allen Holloway seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the dis- trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Holloway v. Angelone, No. CA-99-27-7 (W.D. Va. Apr. 9, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
